Abstract
Quinones reacted with urea-hydrogen peroxide complex in the presence of a base at room temperature, to give the corresponding quinone epoxides in 22-92% yields. The advantages of this new quinone epoxidation procedure are the requirement of organic solvent media, a easily handled solid reagent and a simple workup procedure.
